GODFRIED LAUBE, OF HURON, SOUTH DAKOTA, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO JOSEPH HYMANS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

CHURN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,859, dated February 13, 1894.

Application filed August 10, 1893. Serial No. 482,838. (No model.)

To a/ZZ whom it may concern.-

Beit known that I, GODFRIED LAUBE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Huron, in the county of Beadle and State of South Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Ohurns, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawiugs.

This invention relates to certain new and Io useful improvements in churns and particularly to that class known as rocking or swinging churns.

The object of the invention is to so construct a churn that different swings or 'mo- I5 tions may be acquired by simple adjustments of the hangers on their supports; furthermore to so arrange the parts that the power required in oscillation will remain at the minimum throughout the operation, and to 2c combine in a churn a simple construction with efcient service and inexpensive manufacture.

With these and other objects in view the improvement consists in various novel details of construction, arrangement and combinations of parts to be hereinafter more fully described and specifically pointed out iu the claim.

In describing the invention in detail, refer- 3o ence is had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification and wherein like figures of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several views, in which- Figure l. is a view in side elevation showing in dotted lines the throw effected when hangers are in position near the center of the support. Fig. 2. is a view in side elevation showing in dotted lines the throw effected when adjusted at the ends, and Fig. 3. is anV Fig. tis a view of of the ianges against the side of the opening l 5o or other suitable means. The handles 4, by

which motion is given the vessel, are attached at any convenient part thereof, a one side and one end handle being preferred.

Vof the opening 2.

The body of the churn is pivoted as at 8, 8, to suitable hinges 9, 9, having their free ends 5; engaged by notches lO, 10, a series of which is arranged in the cross pieces 11, held in position by frame work consisting of the corner posts l2, 12, 12, 12, suitably braced to withstand the strain incident to the use of the 6c churn. `Interiorly a dasher 6, provided with slots is arranged diagonally of the iiow of the cream when in motion, and as the agitation is therebyv increased the more efficient separation of the oily globules from the other por- 'tions is induced. The cleats 8, 8, between which the dasher is arranged, at the bottom serve to retain it in its normal position While in use,while at the top the said dasher is held in position in the angles formed by the walls 7o Particular attention is called to the difEerent motions which can result from the adjustment ofthe hangers in the notches of the cross pieces. For instance, when the hangers are adjusted in the extreme end notches of the cross pieces, the body will be given a tilted motion, as shown in dotted lines, Fig.

2. While ifV moved one or two notches toward the center, a horizontal motion will be 8o imparted and if placed still nearer the center,

a dipping or curved motion would be produced as shown by dotted lines, Fig. 1. It will be readily understood that this principle could be applied to washing-machines with satisfactory results; also that various changes may be made in the detail construction without departing from the general idea involved.

Having fully described my invention, what 9o I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

In a churn, the combination with the body portion provided with a dasher, of the hangers supporting the body portion and the notched cross pieces of the carrying frame in which the hangers are adjustably secured whereby the swing of the body portion may be varied, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in roo presence of two witnesses.

GODFRIED LAUBE.
